Neve Campbell will return for Scream 8, she confirmed to the Associated Press. Campbell played Sidney Prescott in six of the seven existing Scream films. She sat out Scream 6 over pay disputes, a gap that ended when the franchise chose to bring her back instead of retaining Melissa Barrera after the actor's pro-Palestine statements.
Lilla and Nora Zuckerman, who worked on Poker Face, are writing Scream 8. The script came from an idea pitched by Campbell. Director Kevin Williamson said in March, "Neve had this great idea, and everyone seemed to run with it."
No other cast members have been confirmed for the film. Courteney Cox is the only actor to appear in all seven Scream movies to date.
